Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), have expressed their opinions about the health of President Joe Biden, calling for an investigation into the president’s doctors who are giving him positive health reports. In a July 20 interview on Fox News program “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Trump insisted that Biden’s doctors should be scrutinized for providing him with a “wonderful report.” Vance meanwhile called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, which led to a discussion about whether this situation constituted a “coup” against Biden. Both Trump and Vance agreed that if Biden can’t run for president, he can’t serve as president, and the appropriate measures should be taken to address any issues with his health or fitness for office.
This interview occurred just one day before Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election on July 21. Republicans quickly interpreted this announcement as an admission of unfitness for office, despite claims that Biden stepped down due to pressure from within his party. Several Republican members in Congress joined the call for Biden to resign immediately, citing concerns about his cognitive ability and questioning the legitimacy of any positive health reports he may have received.
Over at the Senate, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn also joined in the chorus of those demanding that Biden step down from office. The call for a thorough investigation into President Biden’s doctors continues to grow among Republican lawmakers as concerns about his health and fitness for office persist.
